The City of Quincy Department of Public Works will celebrate National Public Works Week from May 21 through 25 with an Open House, Banner and Essay Contest including an awards and recognition ceremony. National Public Works Week (NPWW) is a celebration of the tens of thousands of men and women who provide and maintain the infrastructure and services collectively known as public works. Instituted as a public education campaign by the American Public Works Association (APWA) in 1960, NPWW calls attention to the importance of public works in community life. The Week seeks to enhance the prestige of the often-unsung heroes of our society-the professionals who serve the public good every day with quiet dedication.
Through NPWW and other efforts, the City of Quincy seeks to raise the public's awareness of public works issues and to increase confidence in public works employees who are dedicated to improving the quality of life for present and future generations.
The occasion is marked by a resolution and proclamation from the Mayor. Past highlights of NPWW include a United States Senate resolution affirming the first National Public Works Week in 1960, letters of acknowledgment from Presidents Dwight Eisenhower and Lyndon Johnson, and a Presidential Proclamation signed by John F. Kennedy in 1962.
The City of Quincy Department of Public Works is responsible for providing the residents with a variety of services including street and sidewalk construction, waste collection, water, sewer and drain service, street sweeping and snow plowing.
You as a resident, play a vital role in assisting us in providing these services, by adhering to trash collection schedules, street sweeping schedules and snow emergency regulations.
Working together we can continue to improve the services that affect our quality of life in the City of Quincy
